also @OmnipotentFNarr, why is my relationship with the mongols chilly? I haven’t done anything to them the past few rounds or at least i remember not doing so

my actions.
global action: throw my prisoners into a pit and experiment on them by throwing animal dung into it (in hopes to breed a plague :smiling_imp:), also tell my people that the gods told me to do it in order to get a religion bonus, also it is for military purposes so does that mean that i also get the military bonus?
half of my people research pottery.
the other half try’s to make the boats bigger and better (hopefully big enough to carry some catapults and rhinos).

thanks for the round!

actions:

  • (pheonix) discover sheilds

  • (tyre) farmers, fishers, scientists, and builders make walls

  • (tyre) rest of population work on powerful bronze swords

new population becomes warriors

also now im a civ! yay!

@OmnipotentFNarr, you said population would increase because of division of labor, but that didn’t happen.
Action: Absorb the Taolu into a new village
Action: Forge better weapons and armor
Declare ourselves an empire.( a civ)

Whoops, I guess I forgot. I’ll fix that next round.

Your relations are chilly because they are an aggressive nation and they have the fear armour.

Action 1: Research better tools
Action 2: (if better tools works out) research mining/(if it doesn’t work out) research/create monarchy

also i want it to be clear that if i make the plague a zombie plague then i can do that right @OmnipotentFNarr?

I would say it depends on chance, because most plagues come from farm animals it would be more likely that you get swine flu rather than getting something like Chronic Wasting Disease

also the description of the disease.
it can only be transmitted by being bit by the infected or being exposed to the black, tar like substance that leaks from their mouth, this substance can be collected by removing the infected’s lower jaw, thus eliminating the chance to be bit while collecting it.
1 hour after being infected the victim will begin to become more violent and rabid, meanwhile the virus makes changes to your brains chemistry.
2 hours after being infected the victim will start craving living flesh, meanwhile the mouth starts producing the infectious tar-like substance, by this time you can be infected by the victim.
5 hours later the victim dies due to heart failure.
1 day after death, the victim will reanimate and will now be referred to as a husk, the victim will have been rotting for a long time and develops a weakness to UV light and fire.
after reanimation the husk will freely roam in the night, but prefers to hide in dark areas away from the light during the day.

It has to stay within the realm of reality. It’s all good up until the reanimating part, which isn’t realistic.

well it is not technically reanimating it is just a word.
it is actually the virus assuming the bodily functions required to keep it alive.
i know a lot about biology, maybe i could join thrive…

Wait how is this possible? A virus kills the cells to reproduce, so wouldn’t this mean that the virus could not reproduce?

i am just using the word virus, it is actually more like a fungus.

@blackjacksike you know, if you just agreed to give me a few plague victims then i would not be developing a zombie plague.
do you still feel like you did the right thing for the world?
all the destruction is on you.

Confirmed: ZenZone is the main antagonist


He actually has a movie villain personality, and that helps to make the game interesting

Also, do keep in mind that you are trying to engineer a disease by tossing feces at animals, so the result might not be what you want…

no, i am throwing feces at prisoners in a pit.
also the pit is now officially called “the friendship pit” because if you are thrown into it everyone rushes to “hug” you.
that is what we tell children.
a lot of them die from going into the pit…

Correct. I would like to see him actually engineer the virus and then the rest of us will have to deal with the effects. On top of what I think is a meteorite falling from the sky this would make the gameplay very interesting.
